Title: Ergodox case with tenting
Post by: Linuus on Sun, 20 October 2019, 08:49:12

I built an Ergodox about 5 years ago with parts from Falbatech mainly. I have a PVC case from Falbatech which works fine but it’s not as nice and polished as something like the Ergodox EZ of course :) Also, it doesn’t have any tenting.

Are there any nice cases that I can buy today with tenting? The only I’ve found are also from Falbatech: https://falba.tech/product/ergodox-standard-pvc-case-ver3/

Has anyone tried them? Are they good?

The old Massdrop Ergodox cases were held together with M3 screws.  You could just get M3 extenders and raise one side.  Not sure how your Falbatech case is built though.

I have found these to 3D print, but I don't know if they will fit Falbatech's case specifically:

I have also seen people's home-made wedges made of foam or wood.
